  • Assist in planning and executing strategic initiatives, tracking progress, and ensuring deadlines are met.
  • Identify challenges and propose solutions to keep projects on course.

Confidentiality & Discretion

  • Manage highly sensitive information with complete discretion.
  • Handle confidential documents securely and appropriately.

Personal Support

  • Provide ad hoc personal assistance to the CEO as needed, ensuring a seamless integration between professional and personal commitments.

Start-Up Environment

  • Thrive in a fast-paced and ever-changing start-up setting, demonstrating adaptability and resourcefulness.
  • Take on additional responsibilities as required, contributing to the organisation's success.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Education & Industry Knowledge

  • Degree qualification is essential
  • Experience in finance, private equity/M&A, or the energy sector is highly desirable.

Technical Proficiency

  • Highly skilled in Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook, PowerPoint, and Excel, with the ability to create professional presentations and spreadsheets.

  • Absolute discretion and trustworthiness.
